Hi Tomek, thanks for the great comment. I used LOADS of binding with sinew and used thick cow hide for bolsters. This thing is heavy and really stiff.

That thing is a monster!! Nice work

Thanks man!!
Graeme

Pretty darn SA that's for sure!

Thanks Hollywood
I wanted to produce a great SA CS whip made with kip

Big work Graeme, congrats again.

I must admit the CS style is not my favorite . Call it nostalgia, but I still wonder why the producers of Indiana Jones have decided to change his whip style....

There ya go!

Wow! Now that's a whip!

Looks good Graeme.

Thanks for the great comments guys, I've added a new page on my site for the CS kip whip only as It is a whip in a totally different league to the trilogy whips.
Graeme

Hey Graeme that is a very nice CS whip!

Really looks SA to me! Sure is a monster!

I don't think I've seen anyone nail the Jacka "Transition Zone from Hades" quite as well as you have, Graeme.

But, I'd really have to try it out personally to know for sure...So, I'll just PM you my address, and you can send that puppy on over the pond to me for a review.

Thanks for the great compliment Noah

I can hardly stand the waiting for its arrival. The pictures are amazing.

Rick,

First off, welcome aboard!

Secondly, was the whip pictured made for you?
If so, congrats, she's a beaut! Don't forget to post a full review when it arrives (including more pics!)

Yep it’s coming my way. Over the last year I have purchased four Bullwhips through eBay. They all were under $175.00 and are not exactly fine specimens. Several work OK. I also have a swivel handle nylon 8’ and a 6’ leather I got in the early 1980s when I was studying Philippine Martial Arts. I have always worn Fedoras and I finally got the Bullwhip bug. I recently received Anthony De Longis’s Mastering The Bullwhip. I think it will really help me get the hang of it all.

Good choice on the video. Follow the steps and you'll get it down. I'll also suggest Mike Murphys Fundamentals of Whip Cracking to round out your whip knowledge. Let us know how it goes!

The bad boy arrived today. Second try I got the loudest crack I've gotten from any whip with far less effort. She handles like a dream. I have to finish the yard work now while I still have light. Graeme what do you recommend I use on it to keep it in top condition? Thanks for you attention to detail. She is very uniform and consistent in taper and I really love the action and is quick to pick up energy. Thanks for the extra fall and poppers I was not expecting that. Nice touch.

Hi Rick,
I'm glad you like it. I would recommend pecard leather dressing. You will not need to apply any on the whip for a while yet, only the fall after every cracking session. No worries about the spare fall and crackers

DANG that thing sure is a monster but it looks great can't wait until I can afford one.

Really nice looking whip.
how can one order one?

thanks,

That thing is a monster. A monster that I just might purchase at tax time. Amazing
